Head Coach
Chan Gailey announced that 2001 All-American DE Greg Gathers,
has yet to be cleared for full-contact drills due to a kidney
ailment that signed him last fall.

HOUSTON
QB Nick Eddy, who had a solid spring and could have been the
top signal-callers in Conference USA this year, will sit out
the 2003 season due to academics.

LOUISVILLE
CB Laroni Gallishaw and WR Dontay Spillman have been dismissed
from the team for failing to meet specific guidelines set
by the school. The Cards lose CB Laroni Gallishaw but leftover
Josh Minkins has potential. He comes back as the team leader
in INTs, but only had two. This partially speaks of how weak
UL's pass defense was a year ago. J.T. Haskins will team with
Minkins to give the Cards two honest corners.

SOUTH
CAROLINA
RB Daccus Turman is back on the team, as his suspension has
been lifted.

SOUTHERN
MISS
Starting WR Chris Johnson has been dismissed form the team
for violating team rules.

TEXAS
A&M
Backup LB Randall Webb has been dismissed from the football
team. Franchione had earlier indefinitely suspended Webb for
violating team rules.

UCF
Academic issues will sideline three senior leaders. Fullback
Andreal Curry, middle linebacker Chad Mascoe, and guard Alex
Mendez, all projected starters, will not be eligible to play
this season. Earlier this summer, academic shortcomings claimed
starting DE Rashad Jeanty, who subsequently fled to the CFL.

UCLA
WR Tab Perry will miss the upcoming season after failing to
meet NCAA academic eligibility requirements.
Perry, a senior, said he will redshirt the 2003 season and
plans to return for 2004.

WASHINGTON
The Huskies will be without backup DT Junior Coffin for the
2003 season, due to a pinched nerve in his neck and shoulder.
This compounds the loss of starting DT Josh Miller who will
also sit out 2003 due to back problems.
